Answer:

There are infinitely many solutions. It is the same line.

Explanation:

If you start by multiplying the first equation by 2 to get rid of the fractions, you get -x + y = -2. If you solve it for y, you get y = x - 2. The second equation can be solved for y also, giving you y = x - 2. That means they are the same line and the solution to this situation is infinitely many solutions because all the points on one line are identical to the points on the other line because they are the same line.
